Hello subscribers, Now that my papers are done, I am back from my Christmas trip, and my e-mail is once again available to me, I can begin to send you these messages that have been stored up for a while. I've been sick, so couldn't get to it as early as I wanted to. I have segregated these messages by type, and will be sending the more informative messages first. By informative, I mean the obituary and biography posts. The query posts will come a little later. I will also try and isolate those posts that relate to specific Lutheran churches, and send them earlier as well. The messages that come from GenConnect board postings include the URL that will take you to the posting itself, so I will edit these messages to remove any extra info. If you desire the extra info, you can always go visit the original message via the link included here. I always try to indicate where I have edited a message by placing a [snip] placeholder. -- Mary Taffet List Administrator for LUTHERAN-ROOTS -------- Original Message -------- Subject: PML Search Result matching Lutheran ANDNOT LUTHERAN-ROOTS Date: Fri, 10 Dec 1999 04:12:39 -0800 From: Pat Hampton <hamptdr@earthlink.net> To: mdtaffet@mailbox.syr.edu ============================================================ A result of your requested PML search.
